Decided, determined (8)

I believe the answer is:

resolved

I believe this is a double definition.

'decided' is the first definition.
(resolving is a kind of deciding)

'determined' is the second definition.
(resolving is a kind of determining)

(Other definitions for resolved that I've seen before include "Decided firmly on a course of action" , "Determind - mind made up" , "very firm" , "Not put off" , "Determined - found the answer again" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
